The Ford Plantation is now home to three thriving honey bee hives. Executive Chef Juan Carlos Rodriguez, Naturalist Brittany Rigelwood, and the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Resource Advisory Group collaborated to bring this project to Ford. Professional beekeeper Ed DiNello of The Bees Knees will oversee the hive health and honey production, and when the time is right, he will spin the first honey labeled for The Ford Plantation—made on the Plantation! These hives underscore our continued commitment to conservation of areas that enhance habitats for native pollinators.
